The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 360: Five Tiger God Generals [Third Update]

Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Five Tiger God Generals [Third Update]

The night was shrouded in mist, and the moonlight silently draped over Guarding Slaughter City.

Inside a room, a thin curtain hung before the bed, behind which the intertwined silhouettes of two bodies could be faintly seen, their breaths creating a pulse-quickening atmosphere.

After a long while.

"I can’t, Your Majesty, please stop..."

A soft voice emitted, laden with weariness and seduction.

And so, the great battle drew to a close, and the two lay down. Through the thin curtain, one could see You Fenghuang lying on Qin Jun’s chest, covered by a red blanket, her snow-white back dazzling to behold.

Qin Jun stroked You Fenghuang’s jade-like back and whispered, "I will officially take you as my concubine before I leave."

Upon hearing this, You Fenghuang was moved to tears, her already misty eyes brimming with joy. She clung tightly to Qin Jun’s chest, murmuring, "The luckiest thing in my life is meeting Your Majesty. From now on, I will be Your Majesty’s person, even in death..."

"What are you saying? With me, you won’t die," Qin Jun interrupted her, his voice deep and emphatic, "Never speak of death to me; even if that day comes, I will pull you back from the road to the Netherworld!"

At this moment in this setting, his overbearing words were undoubtedly the most touching declarations of love, causing You Fenghuang to reveal a blissful smile.

"Having met you in this life, I shall have no regrets for a hundred lifetimes," You Fenghuang whispered, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, yet Qin Jun heard every word clearly.

The two fell silent, their wordlessness more eloquent than speech.

...

In the following period, every day saw forces within the Land of No Masters swearing allegiance to Qin Jun. By the tenth day after the Demon King of Bull’s attack, Qin Jun had already consolidated control over four-fifths of the region.

Fortunately, the number of cultivators joining the military was also vast. After hearing of the battle between Qin Emperor and the Peaceful Demon Lord, every hot-blooded man longed to conquer the world under the Qin Emperor’s banner.

In the entire Human Clan, no one’s reputation outshone Qin Jun’s at the moment. The topics of conversation over tea or dinner were mostly about the Qin Emperor. As tales spread from mouth to mouth, the Qin Emperor even began to be mythologized.

One day, Qin Jun was in his study, arranging the assignments for various city officials.

"Ding! Guan Yu will soon return from the God and Demon instance. It is recommended that the host move to a place with more space."

The system notification interrupted Qin Jun’s train of thought.

Guan Yu is coming back?

Qin Jun was stunned, and from the system’s words, it seemed Guan Yu was bringing people back with him.

With that thought, he put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, and walked out of the study into the courtyard.

"No, find a larger space."

The system’s voice resounded again, leaving Qin Jun nonplussed. This courtyard could accommodate hundreds of people without any issue.

Could it be that Guan Yu brought back an entire army with him?

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Jun quickly got to his feet and flew towards the city outskirts.

Nezha, who had long played the role of Qin Jun’s bodyguard, quickly flew over from the neighboring courtyard, catching up with Qin Jun and asking, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Qin Jun was about to find an excuse to leave, but then he remembered that Nezha was also summoned by the system, and his loyalty had always been above ninety. It wouldn’t hurt to broaden his horizons.

"You come with me!"

Qin Jun said with a mysterious smile, and in the midst of speaking, the two of them flew out of Guarding Slaughter City and onto the wilderness above.

Guarding Slaughter City had become the most flourishing city in the Land of No Masters, with caravan guards and military units bustling back and forth on the trade routes, mainly for resource exchanges with other cities.

Qin Jun and Nezha arrived at an uninhabited expanse, and just as Nezha was about to ask Qin Jun what they were doing there, countless figures suddenly appeared out of thin air all around them.

The dense soldiers materialized like a vast sea of stars, causing even Qin Jun to jump in surprise.

Holy shit!

With so many people, had Guan Yu brought all the soldiers of Shu Kingdom?

Qin Jun’s eyes widened, Nezha instinctively took out his spear, ready for battle, but Qin Jun stopped him just in time.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

At that moment, Guan Yu walked over from the crowd, knelt down respectfully, and shouted. His voice boomed like muffled thunder, audible to all.

Suddenly, all the people around knelt down and called out in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Looking across the expanse, there were no fewer than several hundred thousand people; their collective voices were a shock to the heavens.

Qin Jun released his Divine Consciousness to inspect them and discovered to his astonishment that these soldiers all had cultivation. Although most were only at the energy refining realm, it still amazed Qin Jun.

An army like this in the Three Kingdoms period?

But on second thought, this Three Kingdoms was set against the backdrop of Journey to the West, so it wasn’t impossible.

Qin Jun noticed four imposing generals kneeling behind Guan Yu. One burly man had a rough face and a full beard, one elder carried a giant bow and was no weaker than the rest, and there was a man in silver armor exuding a valiant air. Beside him stood another valiant man, slightly less divine but with a bit more tyranny about him.

Could it be...

Qin Jun’s body trembled, his eyes widened in shock. Were they perhaps the Five Tiger Generals of Shu Kingdom?

"Yunchang, stand up, you’ve had a hard journey," Qin Jun said, lifting Guan Yu with a smile. He found himself unable to see through Guan Yu, and as for the other four men, except for the man in silver armor, all had reached the Transforming Void Realm.

"I have not disappointed you and have attained the Earth Immortal Realm," Guan Yu said, struggling to control his excitement. His face, reddish-brown like a jujube, was flush with it. For him, decades had passed.

To see Qin Jun again truly felt surreal.

Nezha was dumbfounded, wondering where all these people had popped up from.

Qin Jun was also pleased to hear this. Although the Earth Immortal Realm cultivation no longer impressed him, it was still considered strong in the Land of No Masters, and Guan Yu could lead the charge!

"Introduce these four generals to me," Qin Jun said with a smile, looking at the four formidable men behind Guan Yu.

"They are my brothers through life and death—Zhang Fei, styled Yide! Huang Zhong, styled Hansheng! Zhao Yun, styled Zilong! Ma Chao, styled Mengqi!" Guan Yu introduced each in turn, sending a shiver through Qin Jun.

Indeed, they were the Five Tiger Generals!

And they were the mythologized version of the Five Tiger Generals!

Qin Jun stared at them incessantly, his gaze lingering longest on Zhao Yun, who, in his silver armor, resembled a divine general.

The name of Zhao Zilong of Changshan was known to subsequent generations in Huaxia.

Eunuch Zhang Yide... *cough cough*, Qin Jun had often made light of him, but never expected to actually meet him in person.

The vigorous archery god, Huang Zhong!

And there was Ma Chao, with the saying that before there was Lv Bu in the Three Kingdoms, there was Ma Chao after, testament to Ma Chao’s prowess.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yun and the other three greeted Qin Jun with a respectful fist salute. They appeared somewhat excited, having heard from Guan Yu that he came from another world, which they never expected to be true.

Such a young Qin Jun possessing the cultivation of the Illusory Realm made them, who had spent decades in cultivation, feel somewhat abashed. And seeing Nezha next to him, they were even more astonished.

"Yide and Hansheng have both reached the seventh level of the Transforming Void Realm. Mengqi has reached the pinnacle of the Transforming Void Realm, and Zilong is extraordinarily gifted, having broken through the Earth Immortal Realm and is even close to catching up with me," Guan Yu said with a laugh. In the world of Journey to the West after meeting, he had taught them the cultivation method, and their appearances remained at their peak.
